Check out our Show Day Map

  • As a mum, the Foster Agricultural Show in Gippsland, Victoria, is an annual highlight that brings immeasurable joy to our family.

  • The show's commitment to being family-friendly was evident in every aspect. The petting farm, featuring adorable sheep and miniature goats, created a hands-on connection to farm life that our children adored. The dog jump competition showcased impressive canine skills and kept the whole family entertained.

  • In essence, the Foster Agricultural Show is a well-rounded and delightful experience for families. From engaging activities for kids to the charming petting farm, captivating dog jump, and delectable food offerings, it's a must-attend event that leaves us eagerly anticipating the joy it brings each year.

  • All in all, the Foster Ag Show was a perfect mix of learning and fun. From the stress-free shuttle to unexpected gems like "Fashions in the Field," shearing, wool spinning, and the wood chop contest, it had something for everyone. We left with big smiles, a deeper appreciation for country living, and some unforgettable memories. Can't wait for next year's shenanigans!

  • Our family looks forward to this show every year - it has such a great atmosphere, a real traditionally-rural event. The kids adore the animals on show and the dog high jump event, whilst the adults enjoy catching up with old friends and wandering through the Pavillion exhibitions. It's the best day! - Mel Webster

  • Our day at the Foster Ag Show was a blast! We hopped on the shuttle bus from Toora, which was a genius move—no parking hassle, and we could kick back knowing we'd have a ride back to our car. Smart thinking!
